TROUBLE I HAVE FACED, But God Changed My Mind.
June will feature Devotionals written by our GBFC Youth. It is good to read godly inspiration from our youth. Be encouraged by God's Word working in the hearts of our young people.
SCRIPTURE: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippian 4:13
I was accepted to Concordia Prep for high school, and I was excited about going there, too. I was trusting God and praying every day for God to give my mom the money for me to attend this school. When I realized that the school wasn’t trying to offer me enough scholarship money, I was really disappointed. I didn’t want to stress my mom out with trying to figure out how to pay for me to attend the school. One day when my mom was driving me to school I said to her, “It’s cool, I will choose to go to another school.”
PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for letting me be able to go to another school. It wasn’t Your will for me to attend Concordia prep. I am thankful. In Jesus name Amen.

Oh Bro. Amir, you will be a light for Jesus wherever He places you. Romans 8:28 "All things work together for our good, to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose!"
Amen. Thank you Lord for using Amir to remind me to trust you even when doors are closed. Prov 3:5-6. Thanks Amir. ðŸ™ðŸ¼â¤ï¸
One door closes and another door opens. May we all be guide
May we all be guided by God for each and every 'door' along the way. In time of need HE is an everpresent help!
My dear Amir. When one door closes another one better will open. Keep trusting and believing. Bless you young man.
Amen! 🙌ðŸ½
Bro. Amir, you will never go wrong when you allow the Holy Spirit to guide your decision-making.
God has plans for you! Stay faithful! God will definitely put you in position for glory, grace, mercy, and blessings! AMEN!
